Product Benefits

1. Cleaning Results

Variable-speed heater pump
pump-glassware-washer
Only with Miele Professional: The wash pressure is perfectly tailored to the changing requirements.
The heart of perfect results

In the individual programs the speed of the pump and thus the wash pressure is adjusted in line with the relevant requirements – high pressure facilitates the removal of stubborn soiling, whilst low pressure guarantees the complete wetting of all the wash items.

As a result, the consumption of water and energy remains particularly low with optimum wash pressure at all times.

Integrated water softener
Miele PLW 8604 Integrated water softener
The integrated water softener ensures optimum cleaning effectiveness.
Cleaner results

Minerals in tap water can hinder the cleaningbrprocess and cause deposits to form onbrinstruments. Miele thermal disinfectors are fitted ex works with a water softener which removes the bulk of ionsbrfrom tap water which cause water hardness. In the case of extremely hardbrwater and in practices using large amounts of instruments,bradditional complete demineralisation may make soundbreconomic sense.

2. Connectivity

Wifi interface
WiFi for flexible and secure communication
Securely connected including with web portal

The WiFi interface supports flexible operation in the local network together with a secure connection to the Miele MOVE web portal. The machine is networked in accordance with the state of the art. As well as connecting to documentation systems, other digital services are also supported. Miele Professional machines with the WiFi interface are Miele MOVE-ready. Miele MOVE is not available in all countries.

3. Quality

Easy-to-service construction
easy-to-service
Short service times thanks to maintenance-optimised appliance design.
Simple access to the machine

For planned maintenance and servicing, and in the event of a fault: The easier it is for the technician to install important components inside the machine the quicker the machine will be back up and running.

For this reason Miele Professional is keen to encourage simplicity in the design of its appliances from the development stage onwards, as this facilitates easy access and quick servicing.

Crevice-free wash cabinet
Perfect hygiene through optimised geometry and laser welding.
Seamlessly welded

The entirely new wash cabinet developed by Miele Professional sets new standards in hygiene.

The wash cabinet is seamlessly welded using laser technology and its smooth joints provide no chance for dirt deposit build-up. Thus the adhesion of blood or other stains is prevented. A plus for hygiene is achieved by installing the heating elements outside the wash cabinet.

Heater elements outside the wash cabinet
A plus for hygiene: The heating elements are installed outside the wash cabinet.
Hygienic and practical

The heating elements installed outside the wash chamber offer additional hygiene. This means one less chance for germs to become lodged in crevices and removes the danger that plastic parts falling out of baskets could burn.

4. Safety

Waterproof System (WPS)
waterproof-system
Protection against flooding: In the event of problems, the system stops water intake automatically.
Protection against flooding

The Waterproof System protects against water damage with a dual solenoid valve at the stopcock. If the first valve does not close, the second one interrupts the water intake.

The double skinned inlet hose provides the highest level of protection: In the event of damage to the inner hose, water flows through the outer sleeve into the sump. Intelligent sensor technology detects leaks and in an emergency also stops the intake of water.

5. User Convenience

M Touch Basic controls
Use all programmes and machine functions conveniently with a touch of a fingertip on the clear text touch display.
Select the right programme easily

Efficient user convenience and a wide range of functions all in one control unit: favourite programmes are selected quickly and a wide range of configuration options allow them to be adapted to personal requirements. All displays are available in 32 different languages.
